Chapter 539: Sword Furnace, Golden Light Sword
It turns out that Huang Zaozi chose to build his villa at Qingluo Cliff because he was attracted by the rich gold deposits in the underground river here.

He enslaved hundreds of old clams to work in this dark river year after year, constantly digging out gold for him, and regularly delivering it to the sword furnace in the dark river, while he himself waited for the harvest.

There are two layers in the furnace, the outer furnace uses the Five Elements quenching method. Gold is sent into it, first quenched into elite, then refined into magic sand, and finally turned into the sword embryo in the inner furnace, constantly adding foundation to the sword embryo and nourishing its spirituality.

According to these old clams, they have been enslaved for more than eighty years, and no less than a thousand tons of gold have been dug from the underground river. Even so, only twenty-two grains of the magic golden sand were refined. These twenty-two grains are the reason why the gold is so pure and solid.

If it were other hardware, thousands of tons might not be enough to produce half of the magic sand we have today.

"lead the way!"

Ji Ming said to the group of clam spirits.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old clam in the lead seemed to hesitate, but when Ji Ming wielded the sword of Jianxie, the old clam then rushed across the river like a hurricane, cutting through the waves and leading the way.

"This old clam is quite a meticulous person."

Jin Niyuan smiled and helped Lao Clam to cover up the matter lightly.

Led by the old clam, they came to a rapids in the underground river. Going further ahead, they could see the river water rushing downwards with a constant rumble, stirring up a hundred feet of mist, through which thousands of golden rays of light could be seen, brilliant and fascinating.

Fly over the river waterfall, crash into the water vapor neon, fly downward for a while, and then a heat wave comes.

Ji Ming groaned, and swept the air around him with his nose. The water vapor disappeared and his vision became clear. Below him appeared a furnace that was three feet high, standing on three legs, and emitting a lot of hot light and golden color.

There is fire from the ground and lungs under the furnace, and water from an underground river is drawn to the side. With fire inside and water outside, double the quenching effect can be achieved. This shows the ingenious means that Huang Zaozi used when he built the furnace.

"This is the sword-hiding furnace."

The old clam hung in front of the furnace, put all the golden beads in the shell into the furnace, and said to Ji Ming: "The Xuanying Golden Light Sword is a superior magic sword in Taoism. It was originally a painstaking work of the master Huang Zaozi who modified it into a genuine one."

"The sword of demon refining."

Jimin murmured.

The so-called demon refining refers specifically to a superior sword. If this kind of sword is wielded by a cultivator, he can use the sword as a medium to sharpen his mind in battle, break his own obsessions and demonic obstacles, and achieve a state of inner and outer purity.

The saying "slay the evil demons outside and the demons inside" is a portrayal of this kind of superior sword.

"go on."

Ji Ming said to Lao Bang.

The old clam opened its two shells, and a bright pearl shone from it. A little old man sat on the pearl and said, "Huang Zaozi not only digs for gold here, but also has twelve other scattered mining areas. Although the gold reserves in each mine are not high, after years of accumulation, he has still refined nine gold grains.

There are thirty-one grains of these golden sacred sands in total, all of which were used to create this Xuanying Golden Light Sword. "

Jin Ni Yuan was touched and said with a sigh, "Although Huang Zaozi is a disciple of a side sect, he is still a man who knows his destiny. He knows that it is difficult to achieve the right result in a side sect, so he secretly refines this magic sword. If he succeeds, he can control the inner demons and resist all evil outside. He will be on the right path, and from then on he will gain both life and death. Who knows, he may achieve the right result."

"The people are dead, and the good results are all taken away by outsiders."

Shu Si said in a low voice.

Rong Hua saw that Chi Shen Zi looked good at the moment, and even when he heard the rat demon's weird words, he did not show any strange expression, and immediately flattered him, "That Huang Zaozi is really a man without luck, he has spent half his life in vain just to make wedding clothes for the young master.

People like this young master are blessed with good fortune, and even adversity can turn into blessing."

"All right."

Ji Ming's face darkened, and he pointed at the furnace and said, "This sword has not yet been refined. Do you know the refining method? I will get this treasure for you."

Rong Hua was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Shu Si, feeling very aggrieved, and lowered his head and said, "This matter is Huang Zaozi's secret. I really don't know how to refine this Xuanying Golden Light Sword."

"I know something."

The old clam said carefully: "Huang Zaozi said before his death that in the inner layer of the furnace, the sword embryo needs to be refined with golden magic sand to meet the number of thirty-six, and when it is consecrated, a golden pill from a righteous immortal is needed as an auxiliary material.

After being refined in this way, the Xuanying Golden Light Sword can achieve an indestructible golden nature. After the cultivator has honed this sword, as long as the sword technique is practiced to the second level - "Clear Sword Heart, Fitting the Body into the Sword", it can achieve an indestructible golden sword light. At that time, it can be said that it is invulnerable to the five elements, difficult to be harmed by all laws, and easily avoided by ghosts and gods. "

After listening to this, Ji Ming knew that the detailed secret of refining the sword was most likely lost with Huang Zaozi's death.

However, since this sword is a superior sword for refining demons, it must belong to the righteous path. I will ask someone in the upper mansion to investigate it in detail, and I will definitely be able to find some clues.

Thinking of this, Ji Ming raised his hands and started calculating in front of the stove. His mediocre calculation skills learned from the "Large Characters of Fire Dragon" by Master Huolong came in handy.

Not to mention his ability to calculate and predict the future, which is a skill that even True Man Huolong does not have, just talking about his detailed investigation of the past, even if he cannot know the whole past, he can at least vaguely see some things, like seeing flowers in the fog.

In front of the furnace, Ji Ming imagined the scene of Huang Zaozi refining swords here in the past. He muttered something, and his second soul began to exert its power. Gradually, strange voices appeared around him.

"master!"

The old clam was so frightened that it shrank into its shell, and clear water gushed out of the shell as if it had incontinence.

Although Rong Hua was also shocked, he saw Huang Zaozi being killed with his own eyes and knew that it would be difficult for Huang Zaozi to come back to life. In addition, considering Chi Shen Zi's attitude, it was obvious that the sudden appearance of Huang Zaozi's voice was related to Chi Shen Zi's magic.

After a full half a minute, Ji Ming's forehead was covered with sweat. He stopped chanting the spell, turned his eyes to the old clam, and said with a smile: "You are smart. You didn't lie to me."

"Don't dare."

More clear water leaked out of the old clam shell, and it was obvious that it was extremely frightened.

"In the two furnaces inside and outside the furnace, many treasure refining methods are running spontaneously. Now the outer furnace is still short of five grains of golden magic sand to meet the number of thirty-six. You clam spirits need to work hard again to maintain the operation of this furnace."

"I will definitely try my best to live up to your trust."

Said the old clam.

"Um!"

Ji Ming nodded and said, "After refining the last five pills, I will arrange for you to move to Linghu Lake and recuperate."

The Golden Lion Ape smiled and said, "With your current status, if you give an order, all the families and sects in the Western Wasteland will work together, and it will only take a few years to refine the five grains of magic sand."

He said this deliberately in order to reassure Lao Bang and make him concentrate on digging for gold and refining swords. In this way, within a few years, he would be free. Besides, with the protection of Thousand Flowers Cave, he could live in peace.

Lao Bang was also smart. He knew that Jin Ni Yuan was giving him advice, and he repeatedly assured Ji Ming that he would accomplish the task.

"Brother Jin Ni is still the same as always."

Ji Ming said something that puzzled Jin Niyuan, and then fled deep into the villa behind the stove. Before he had gone far, he heard a buzzing sound and a field of cauliflower appeared in front of him.

Above the medicinal field, swarms of Jade Evil Bees chased each other and danced on the flowers, each with its hind legs covered with nectar.

Several beehives were hanging on a golden tree, with a large number of Jade Evil Bees flying in and out. When Ji Ming and others were watching, the queen bee in the hive had sensed them and immediately gave the order to attack.

Shu Si smacked his lips and said, "What a thief who stole from his employer."

A swarm of Jade Evil Bees swarmed over like dancing sand and appeared before his eyes in the blink of an eye. Rong Hua was just about to sacrifice the Green Rotten Dark Lamp when he saw the young master taking out a yellow gourd and immediately put away his treasure.

Ji Ming threw the yellow gourd and the Jade Evil Queen Bee flew out of the gourd's mouth.

The queen bee was like a streak of firefly, shuttling back and forth in the bee colony, disrupting the swarm's formation. Then she flew into a beehive on the golden tree and caught a jade-colored fat bee in a moment.

Upon seeing this, Rong Hua began to flatter him.

"The young master's queen bee was taught by the ancestor himself, and is the offspring of the fairy bee. The queen bee in that nest is obviously an ordinary thing. I don't know how many generations have passed since the Jade King Fairy Bee. It is no longer pure and is really of inferior quality and ridiculous."

Then, he pointed to the center of the medicine field and said, "The treasure is below. Young master, please be careful and guard against the vicious means used by Huang Zaozi after his death."

Ji Ming laughed, and saw the Jade Evil Queen Bee move in response, commanding the bee colonies in the medicinal field. They buzzed and divided into several groups, and drilled into the medicinal field. Soon, sets of talismans, jars of shell beads, and boxes of agate teeth were all carried up.
